Game-Day Decision

Unexpected Places to Watch the Game

As only the fiercest of competitors know, the element of surprise is the best play in the playbook (other
than the fumblerooski, of course). So bypass the obvious game-day haunts for these six
off-the-football-radar spots. Face paint is definitely optional.

BURGER KING

Your Tableside Flat-Screen for the Game

It might be in the heart of Union Square, but
Burger Bar is currently taking reservations for its nine booths—each equipped with its own
flat-screen. Slide in right before the game, order from the list of 75 beers, build your own foie gras
burger, and if you feel like channel surfing, your secret is safe with us.

This Sunday, expect a little pigskin... in your mouth. You’ll have the good people at Andalu to thank, as
they’re roasting a pig for the big day. It’ll be a feast of pork carnitas, pulled-pork sliders and
Coca-Cola ribs—with margaritas and beer by the pitcher. Much better than eating a football.

A Meatball Sub for 10

If you’re looking for a meatball sub for 10, look no further than the
Slice House. Tony will be doing a mega-size melted mozzarella, marinara and parmesan Meatball
Superhero. And while it’s technically to-go, you should know that the bar at
Tony’s has two big-screen TVs...

Booth Reservations at Nick’s and Rouge

You could follow the game by the cheers from Greens and Shanghai Kelly’s (the Steelers bar of Steelers
bars). So your own booth at Nick’s in front of six big-screens will be neutral territory for hefty
platters of Nick’s best—one pregame and another at halftime. The pitchers of beer and margaritas,
however, will keep flowing.

Happy Hour at Quiver Bar

When brunch flows right into happy hour, you know it’s a good day. Start with Roast Beef Hash on
the patio, then grab seats at Quiver Bar upstairs in front of the two big-screen TVs, and let the cocktails
and beer commence. It’s only a matter of time before happy hour flows into late night...

BBQ Pickup from Sneaky’s

Sometimes it’s better to stay in and have everyone come to you. We’ve found surefire bait in Sneaky’s
Kurobuta pork belly, pulled pork, BBQ chicken, baby back ribs, and mac and cheese by the pint. And by the
pint, we mean don’t stop at one.
